Bioaccum/Biomagnification

Create a color coded illustrative version of biomagnification using an marine ecosystem energy pyramid with 5 trophic levels-due Friday

Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances in living organisms. This happens over time. These substances could be heavy metals, pesticides, or organic chemicals. These substances can enter into the systems via water or food. 

Biomagnification is the increase in the substance concentrations as you go higher in a food chain. The pollutants must be long-lived in order to cause biomagnification. Also, it should be mobile, so that it easily enter into biological systems in means of food or water. If it is not mobile, it may stay inside one organism and will not be passed into the next tropic level. If they are soluble in fat, they tend to remain in bodies of organisms for a longer

period. Further, in order for biomagnification to occur, the pollutant must be biologically active. For example, DDT is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which can be bioaccumulated. It is toxic for insects and has a half-life of 15 years. Heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, zinc are also toxic and can be biomagnified.

Bioaccumulation vs Biomagnification Bioaccumulation is increasing the concentration of a substance in one organism whereas biomagnification is increasing the level as you go up in a food chain.

Bioaccumulation occurs within a tropic level and biomagnification occurs between tropic levels.
